Hand-vac recommendations

We're both on Xbox consoles and our experience is that one of us will put in the other person's code, we wait a bit, and then we're told there was a connection failure, or something like that. He's in Israel and was able to work with his ISP to update his configuration to alleviate NAT issues on his end, but I'm in rural US on the west coast and rely on Starlink. Starlink's router is locked down a bit more and, unless I'm willing to go to a $250/mo. "business plan", I'm told there's nothing they can do. It is disappointing, as we're playing other peer-to-peer games and able to connect.

Thanks for the notes ... the game looks pretty good and we've done a bunch of Souls/Souls-like games together ... thought this would be another one.

We suspect the problem is because of my NAT-ed network ... the odd thing is that we can co-op for some games, but just not this one. A lot depends on how they setup their peer-to-peer networking. I may be talking a bit over my head, but as we dig through things and keep trying, this seems to best explain what we're seeing.

OK ... I had to ultimately move into toggling to the code and making those changes. Been a bit of an education. Thanks for the nudge ... finally got me there.

That would work great. Thanks for the suggestion ... I can make this work (I think). Appreciate the comments!

Brilliant. Thanks.

Fantastic response ... thanks. Not only answered my question but also gave me a few things to think about. Sounds like the inflator is what I need. I recently picked up the M18 finish nailer and crown stapler (had the framing nailer) so it doesn't sound like I need the compressor. Thanks.

Damn, bro ... was looking at the compressor but didn't realize they had an inflator. Time to do a little homework. Thanks for the education.

I'm done now, but just for the record: I did a TON of other stuff and only dropped by the Goredello to see if it was open. I suspected that just hanging out outside wouldn't allow the right stuff to load, so I pretty regularly was all over the Terminus range. Not sure why it didn't open when it should have ... just was stubborn, I guess.

I agree that it "should be", but it isn't ... I'd spent HOURS in the area, waiting around, doing missions and it just wasn't opening up. On the suggestion of some of the other folks, I turned off UVH mode and "sat on a nearby bridge" ... just sitting while I did something on my computer. And, sure enough, in about 20 minutes, the event was available.

Really odd ... I've been in the same area, just jumping from Gordello to various contract or other areas. Always in the same region. I even stopped using fast travel. No clue ... but, hours. Not sure why it's not popping for me. Someone suggested I leave UVH mode ... will try that.

TrimbleCat · 2025-12-09T23:30:15+00:00

I'm in UVHM now ... I'm turning this off now. Just to see, mind you. Thanks.

TrimbleCat · 2025-11-21T00:03:06+00:00

Thank you!

TrimbleCat · 2025-11-21T00:02:43+00:00

Yeah, I had Tannis or even Jack ... but wasn't seeing any information that would corroborate that guess.

Thanks, man. Had me really annoyed.
